These are made with the Tree Trinket Cookie Cutters from Lakeland (<a href="http://www.lakeland.co.uk/tree-trinket-cookie-cutters/F/keyword/trinket…;)</p>
<p>
<br />
1. Preheat the oven to 180 C.&nbsp; Line two baking sheets with greaseproof paper.&nbsp; Place 6 large boiled sweets into a plastic bag and crush the boiled sweets into a fine powder using a rolling pin.<br />
<br />
&nbsp;2. Sift the flour and ground ginger into a bowl.<br />
<br />
3. Cut the butter into small pieces and add to the flour mix.&nbsp; Rub the butter into the flour mix with your fingertips until the mixture looks like breadcrumbs.<br />
<br />
4. Add the sugar, syrup and egg and mix to form a dough.</p>
<p>
<br />
5. Wrap in clingfilm and chill in fridge for at least one hour.<br />
<br />
6. Roll the dough out onto a lightly floured surface.<br />
<br />
7. Use the cookie cutters to cut out shapes and place on baking sheet.&nbsp; Now use the smaller cutters to cut out windows.</p>
<p>
8. Fill each of the cut-outs with the powdered boiled sweets.</p>
<p>
9. Bake until golden (time will depend on how big your cookies are, but check after 10 minutes). Hey presto the boiled sweet has melted to create your stained glass window.<br />
<br />
9. As soon as they come out the oven the biscuits are still soft.&nbsp; Use a small round cutter to cut out the hole to take a ribbon (for hanging on your tree)</p>
<p>
10. Leave to cool for 10 minutes on the bakingsheets and then transfer (still on greaseproof paper) to a cooling rack.&nbsp; Once completely cool remove the greaseproof paper.</p>
